| Mamma Mia! |
The setting is a Greek island where 20-year-old Sophie is due to be married.
Her mom, Donna (who happens to be a former singing star) is there, but her father
isn't...because she's never met him. So, Sophie snoops in her mom's diary, chooses
three former lovers as likely candidates and invites them to the wedding, hoping
she can just figure it out when she sees them!
This musical dances to a disco
beat, featuring 22 of Swedish singing sensation ABBA's greatest hits, including "Dancing
Queen," "The Winner Takes It All," “Take A Chance on Me," "Knowing
Me, Knowing You"
and "Super Trouper". These pop songs weave together an enchanting tale
of love, laughter and friendship.

| Lion King |
Giraffes strut, birds swoop, gazelles leap! The entire savanna comes to life
and, as the music soars, Pride Rock slowly rises out of the stage. This is The
Lion King. The winner of six 1998 Tony Awards, including Best Musical,
The Lion King tells the story of Simba, a young lion cub who struggles to accept
the responsibilities of adulthood and his destined role as king. To bring the
classic 1994 film to life, Disney turned to the story’s roots, its rich
mythology, powerful human drama and primal African rhythms to create a fantastic
musical unlike anything Broadway has ever seen.
Marvel at the breathtaking spectacle
of animals miraculously brought to life by a cast of over 40 actors in what The
London Daily Telegraph calls “a blaze of fabulous imagination.” Wonder
at the inspiration of award-winning director/designer Julie Taymor, as one of
the most successful films in history is stunningly recreated right before your
eyes. Thrill to the pulsating rhythms of the African Pride Lands and an unforgettable
score including Elton John and Tim Rice’s Oscar-winning “Can You
Feel The Love Tonight” and songs by South African composer Lebo M, Mark
Mancina, Jay Rifkin, Julie Taymor, and Hans Zimmer. Treat yourself and your friends
and family to a memory
that will last a lifetime at the musical Time Magazine calls “awe-inspiring” and “a
gorgeous, gasp-inducing spectacle!” The Lion King is an adventure into
another world. Get tickets today!

| The Phantom of the Opera |
Now the longest-running show in Broadway history, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s
The Phantom of the Opera has played to over 80 million people in 25 countries
in 124 cities around the world since its first performance. The New York production
alone has enchanted over 10 million audience members in its over 20- year run.
Be a part of the phenomenon by getting your tickets
today!
In The Phantom of the Opera, a young singer, Christine, is charmed by a mysterious
specter who haunts the Paris Opera house. Based on Gaston Leroux’s famous
novel, the musical’s tale begins as unexplained accidents have been occurring
throughout the Paris Opera, and the stuck-up diva, Carlotta, refuses to go on.
Christine takes her place and is a triumph. At her opening night, she meets her
childhood friend, Raoul. Alone in her dressing room, she finally meets the Phantom
who has taught her to sing so beautifully. Taking her to his lair in the misty
catacombs beneath the Opera House, the Phantom declares his love for Christine,
but she soon learns
his terrible secret. The story moves from the Phantom’s underground hideaway
to the dizzying roof of the Opera House, as the Phantom and Raoul battle for
Christine’s
love.

| Spamalot |
Telling the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
and the quest for the Holy Grail in song, Monty Python’s Spamalot features “a
chorus line of legless knights, men in tights (with legs), killer rabbits and
sexy dancing divas.” The production also promises “some of the most
unforgettable musical numbers you will ever see in the theater on this evening!”
If
you haven’t figured it out already, Spamalot is an adaptation of Monty
Python and the Holy Grail, the 1975 film that is the best loved and most successful
of the Monty Python screen ventures. This outrageous new
musical stars Tim Curry (The Rocky Horror Picture Show) as King Arthur, David
Hyde Pierce (Frasier) as Sir Robin and Hank Azaria as Sir Lancelot. Tony and
Academy Award-winner Mike Nichols will serve as director. Trip includes transportation,
dinner.
